True or false the original Star wars trilogy movies used long theme while the new Star wars movies tended towards shorter musical ideas

1 answer

True. The original Star Wars trilogy, composed by John Williams, is known for its use of longer thematic ideas, with memorable motifs that recur throughout the films. These themes helped develop character identities and narrative continuity. In contrast, the newer Star Wars films, particularly those composed by different composers or with varied styles, often utilize shorter musical ideas and motifs, reflecting a more contemporary approach to film scoring.
